Voters Rebuke Trump In Resounding Win for Democracy Read more here.

"The immediate results suggest whatever confidence this president enjoyed is now crumbling amid a record length government shutdown, a camouflaged cascade of federal kidnappings, a tariff-battered economy, and the systemic demolition of democratic norms," @jimsaksa.com reports on election night.

I think Trump needs to keep telling people from his gilded palace that grocery prices are way down, housing and electricity prices are down, and everything is great because of his genius. They seem to like that.

Tonight proves what I’ve been saying since last November. It destroys the narrative that Gen Z is conservative. Obliterates the idea that Gen Z is MAGA.

Young people will vote for those who promise them a brighter future — and they’ll punish those who don’t deliver.

See you next year, Donald.

Not just HHS: this is in response to an executive order to make loyalty to Trump a key performance evaluation metric for all of the Senior Executive Service

Gavin Newsom is right

JB was asked repeatedly for the number of staff lost at NIH due to RIF, buyouts, and other efforts. These numbers are easy to get from OPM. Why doesn't he have them!?

The crazy part is that even this is incomplete:
This leaves out NIH, HHS, and NSF, which affect Elon’s business interests in Neuralink, Twitter, and AI.

Let billionaires accumulate enough wealth and eventually they see they need to buy politics and gov’t to keep accumulating power.

😡🤬

“They’re trying to kidnap someone” On the scene of a brutal ICE arrest in Worcester, Massachusetts.

"The local police arrived to prevent the community from protecting their neighbor from an unlawful kidnapping. They succeeded, and in the process arrested two of the people who tried to stop it." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
